Historically since June, when the cold wave becomes uncontrollable, death stalks defenseless malnourished children often living in extreme poverty in rural populations in the department of Puno, south of the capital of Peru. Those who survive are affected by acute respiratory infections or the dreaded pneumonia.
Given this fact, the Peruanitos Foundation has launched the campaign “A thousand blankets, a thousand children” acting preemptively, deliver timely shelter under 0-12 years old, with the valuable support of generous individuals who participated in an event benefit held in Los Angeles, California, on 31 December.
Consecrated artists such as the “Queen of Cumbia” Maricarmen Marín, Amparo Brambilla, star of the series “Al fondo hay sitio” and Cheerleader “Recargados laughing,” Mariella Zanetti, traveled to the United States in solidarity to encourage this day , managing to raise the necessary funds to purchase the blankets that they will Puno last week of March.
Thus, before the torrential rains, hailstorms and low temperatures charge fatalities, the Foundation will be present as it has been doing three years ago. This time they have also confirmed their presence Maricarmen Marín and Amparo Brambilla.
It is important to note that last year our donations were received by children in the towns of Jayujayu, Copamaya, Ccocosani, Thunuhuaya, Santa Rosa de Yanaque and Acora Lake Zone. In June 2008, we were in the Town Huarijuyo Centre in the district Pichacani-Laraqueli and August 27, 2007 in Coata, with a cargo for 500 children who gathered in the school 70030, next to the Plaza de Armas .
Poverty can not be synonymous with abandonment. We are in time to avoid a new attack against the children of Puno. It is our responsibility to ensure our children. Join us in this campaign and is working to achieve our goal: “A thousand blankets, one thousand children.”
